Blair, a citizen OF Richmond, ap-
proving mixed schools, has caused
Il sensation throughout the State.
The views presented by him are so
absurd and so mach at variance
with all our notions OF proprlefy
and common decency, that the
people very naturally think OF
them and their author only with
supreme disgust, hut they err III
our opinion. in not having treated
both with silent contempt. The
idea of mixed schools in Virginia
is too ploprosteIous to lie enter
tanned for moment by any hon
est and intelligent man of either
race. Productive as they would
he only of discord, strife AMI blood
shed. which would result eventually
in closing the doors of every school
room in Virginia, no sensible man
would care 10 see the experiment
tried. The colored people as q
class do not desire them and such
vagaries could only exist i'll those
of diSold.rcd brain, OF ema-
nate from those, who think thel1
merits have been overlooked by
their own party and advocate such
methods to curry favor with the
colored people, and thereby to Sc
cure political pretcrment. Mr.
Blair has the reputation of being
All intelligent man and belongs
possibly to the latter class, and
like men of his ilk, who have pre-
coded him, should have been asked
very quietly to step down and out
the Democratic party, and there
the matter should have rested
